On July 31st, at Eldon Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Pease and Partners, Limited, a landing boy was run over and killed. The haulage was by means of an endless rope, and tubs were run in sets of five, each set being attached to the rope by a special bogie, which carries a pair of grips in the form of a pair of pincers. It was the boy's duty to attach this bogie to the endless rope. He had attached a bogie to the endless rope, but it had got off the way. He was seen attempting to lift this bogie on to the way as it, and the set of five tubs behind, were being hauled by the rope. Shortly afterwards he was heard to shout, and a signal was at once given to stop the rope. The boy was found lying beneath the fifth tub, seriously injured. He had been walking between the full and the empty ways when he was trying to lift the moving bogie on to the way and had, apparently, tripped up and fallen in front of the set and been run over. There was plenty of height at the place and plenty of room at the sides, and there was no rubbish about. The boy should not have attempted to lift the derailed bogie on to the road whilst it was in motion. He should have signalled for the rope to be stopped and then have lifted the bogie on to the way. This would have been no trouble to him and would not have hindered the work; but he probably thought he could manage to get the bogie on the way whilst it was moving, and was unaware of the unnecessary risk he was running.

Allinson/Allison/Allason/Allanson.The Frederick Allinson(Codger), born in Shildon 1894, was my grandfather, he fought in WW1,was a coal miner and lived in Chilton most of his life. His ancestors came from Middleton in Teesdale as Lead miners, details of which I have back to 1750ish. The above would have been Fredericks uncle.
